Working on the inside fuselage

Landing gear bay

Ready to insert the cockpit assemblies

Putting the cockpit assemblies

Done

So here I am now.

The fuselage is done.

Zaphod,

Thank you very much for your kind encouragement.

I haven't thought about service hatches but I don't think the kit has enough detail for internal parts of the engines.

Hi Seo

I found your thread late.

Your delicate work is a good example for me.

KIm,

I am glad that you like my construction.

Thank you very much for your kind encouragement.

Zaphod,

262B seems a bit different with regular Halinskis. It has very detailed parts in some areas but it does not in other areas. I wish I could build a service access. But that would be way above my skill set.

It's been a really a while. I've been tied up to my work.

Here comes the little progress on the left side engine.

Quote from Helmut B.

Perfect work, Seo!

It looks really impressive!

Also a Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for your kind comment.

Happy New Year to you too,

The engine works continue.

Temporary fit check

The exhaust parts of the engines continues.

Each cone has six parts.

Fan blades are added.

The exhausts covers.

The exhausts are done.

It is very difficult to see inside though.

The frame work for the engines continue.

Instructions for the frames

Front

End

Fit checks

The frames look a bit longer.

The adjustment is necessary

The work for the second (right) is completed.

The main wing work continues.

This is a jig that would hold the main wing frame in position during assembly.

Not a actual assembly that would be a part of 262B.

The main wing frame

The whole assembly of the main wing is actually one big assembly but I decided to divide it to three sections.

Originally I thought these sections would help me to work on the surface of the main wings. We'll see.

The fit check with the engine

The word for the left main wing

The parts, connecting to the wing, are quite tricky to assemble a few parts together and to form the shapes.

The work for the left wing continues

And the engine got assembled. No fairing parts.

The work for the main wing (center assembly)

The frame got positioned and glued first and covered with the surface parts.

Quote from Zaphod

Hello Seo,

your connection between engine and wing is excellent. Halinski demands utmost attention and skill with this step. For me it would be slightly nightmarish.

Good to know than one does not complete the wings first and attatches the engines then.

Kind regards

Thank you so much for your kind feedback.

The left main wing work continues.

The left wing section gets connected to the center section of the main wing.

The top surface of the left wing is covered.

The right main wing work continues

The frame of the right engine got set.

Then, the bottom surface is covered and the engine got attached.

The work continues.

The main wings are done.

Hello Seo,
